The Department of Justice has formed an inter-agency task force which will investigate the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation over allegations of corruption, it was announced on Friday, Aug. 7.
“Secretary Guevarra will head the task force which counts the Office of the Ombudsman, Commission on Audit, Civil Service Commission and the Office of the President as its members,” the department said. The DOJ said the job of the task force includes “speeding up ongoing investigations and special audits, recommending necessary personnel movements at the PhilHealth, and examination of the corporation’s existing IT system.”
“During the course of the investigation, if warranted, the panel may recommend to the President the imposition of preventive suspension on any PhilHealth official to ensure the unhampered conduct of the investigation,” the President instructed.
